To promote his latest GQ cover story, Rami Malek recently opened about the "magnificent moment" he shared with the late, Robin Williams, on the set of Night At The Museum.
The interview goes in-depth about his decade-long rise to superstardom, and how his life has changed over the years.
He made an account on Quorra and Twitter, in order to candidly answer questions from fans.
He logged in and began to search for questions directed at or about him that he could answer the most accurately.
"Well obviously, morphine, right?," Rami joked.
Off to a great start, here, I'd say!
"A lot," he responded. "I'd like to say that I picked it up pretty quickly."
"I watched it probably thousands of times."
"I loved playing that character," Rami answered. "That was one of the seminal roles I've ever had."
"We did a military boot camp that bonded this group of actors together," he said. "Much like Band of Brothers."
"I think I'd just done the Night At The Museum. I came in for Tom Hanks, and he says, 'I'm a fan of your work.'"
"I was shocked and just taken back," he said. "I just looked at him and said, 'likewise.'"
"Night At The Museum," Rami quickly responded. "Remember that? Right? I think that was it. Yes, it was and what a fun movie to work on."
I definitely did not remember he was in that movie until he just pointed it out. Oops.
"Here's a good Robin Williams story," he began — proceeding to tell the most heartwarming tale I've heard in a while.
“We were shooting in the British Museum, of all places, at night. I see Robin just standing alone, by himself."
"And I said, ‘Are you OK?’ He says back, ‘Man, how often are we going to get a chance to stand right in front of the Rosetta Stone?'”
“And now I get to share it with you. So, here’s to Mr. Williams. Love you, Robin.”
Such a poetic story.
We miss you, Robin!
